The Family of Rehoboam

18 Then Rehoboam took for himself as wife Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David, and of Abihail the daughter of aEliah the son of Jesse.  
19 And she bore him children: Jeush, Shamariah, and Zaham.
20 After her he took aMaachah the granddaughter of bAbsalom; and she bore him cAbijah, Attai, Ziza, and Shelomith.  
21 Now Rehoboam loved Maachah the granddaughter of Absalom more than all his awives and his concubines; for he took eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and begot twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.  
22 And Rehoboam aappointed bAbijah the son of Maachah as chief, to be leader among his brothers; for he intended to make him king.  
23 He dealt wisely, and1 dispersed some of his sons throughout all the territories of Judah and Benjamin, to every afortified city; and he gave them provisions in abundance. He also sought many wives for them.

2 Chronicles 11:20

Maachah the daughter of Absalom - See the note on I Kings 15:10. She is called Michaiah, the daughter of Uriel, II Chronicles 13:2. For this the Targum gives the following reason: "Abijah reigned three years in Jerusalem; and his mother' s name was Michaiah, daughter of Uriel of Gibeatha. She is the same as Michah, the daughter of Absalom; but, because she was an upright woman, her name was changed into the more excellent name Michaiah, and her fathers name into that of Uriel of Gibeatha, that the name of Absalom might not be remembered.
